Time passed, and it was already sunset.
The soldiers of the Golden Sun Wheel who hadn’t really walked through the gates of hell for many years suffered heavy casualties, but they also burst out with courage and uprightness in desperation.
The alien creatures that were thrown into the streets had been cleared by six to seven percent; and the starships in the sky also had a gradual retreat posture, and the battle situation was stuck for a while.
“Don’t let the soldiers fight with their lives anymore.”
Inside the Palm Starship, Jiang Jianming breathed a sigh of relief after hanging up the communication with Commander in Chief Chen Hanke, and said to Major General Tang.
“Stabilize the situation, if able to stalemate and drag, stalemate as much as possible, the reinforcements from the other star cities are coming soon.” He looked at the virtual screen in front of him, “At that time, if the enemy ship does not want to be fired from behind by the imperial starship, it can only retreat.”
Nearly three hours of fierce battle.
In addition to Aslan being attacked, the imperial hub Albourne Star City, known as the “Steel Aircraft Carrier”, the commercial heavy land Purple Silk Star City, and the imperial border space station were also attacked.
The rest of the star cities were all panicked. The Glorious Autonomous Region, which had advanced weapon technology, first refused to send troops to help, and other star cities also began to drag as much as possible – small broken places, no warships, no mechas, no high-tech defense weapons, what if they were stolen on the way to rescuing the city?
But after all, the empire was almost a unified empire of all mankind.
The female emperor’s order came out of the White Jade Palace, forcing the star city to send troops; at the same time, the old marshal was also scheduling and arranging, and now there were already warships jumping to the enemy’s rear, trying to form a pincer attack with Aslan.
“The starship itself is huge, it is difficult to turn around, and it takes a certain amount of time to adjust the situation, take these into account…”
The calculation data quickly overlapped, and the final result was obtained. Jiang Jianming raised his eyes and calmly said, “Support for another hour, within an hour, the enemy starship will definitely withdraw from Aslan.”
Major General Tang wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Good, as long as they enter the universe domain, it will be easy to fight.”
At least, not so many innocent civilians would die.
Ryann was originally sitting next to Jiang Jianming, watching the battle situation and resting. At this time, he looked up at the sky and stood up.
He casually raised his hand to tighten his hair band again, and said to Major General Tang, “Give me another mecha, A-class, high-speed and high-defense.”
Jiang Jianming held his wrist, “Your Highness.”
Ryann said, “I’ll be back soon.”
This meant that he was really preparing to go into the enemy’s formation alone again. Jiang Jianming shook his head calmly, “Don’t be anxious, your crystal bone is strong, but you can’t treat yourself like this.”
“The real hard fight is in the universe domain, you will eventually have to support the imperial fleet and space station. If it drags into a protracted war, how long can Your Highness persist without rest?”
“…..”
Ryann tightened the corners of his lips, struggled with his thoughts, and was still pressed back by Jiang Jianming.
In the past, according to his habit, he did indeed use his strong crystal bone to consume himself like a humanoid nuclear bomb. Xie Yuduo had advised him when he was in the fortress, but he always sneered at him, but now…
His Highness couldn’t help but hesitate: if he continues to act so recklessly and violently, and if he really can’t hold on and falls down, who can protect Jiang Jianming on the battlefield?
Jiang Jianming: “How is it on Laurent’s side?”
“No sound.” Major General Tang shook his head, “Our main force is fighting desperately, leaving only a small number of people to monitor that tower. We have also shouted, but Laurent has always been silent.”
No sound?
Jiang Jianming rubbed his temples in distress: This kind of cult leader who thinks he is a savior, shouldn’t they all have a bunch of endless truths?
Kevin easily hooked out a beginning, can’t the Prime Minister continue to talk endlessly?
Need to know the motive.
He thought to himself.
This so-called Crystal Cult has repeatedly harmed the empire, what is their motive, or is it still shrouded in clouds and mist..
If it’s just like this, come once and repel once, it’s just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.
“The real paradise…leading mankind…”
Jiang Jianming repeated softly, a few seconds later he tilted his head and looked at the crown prince who was riding with him, “Your Highness, let’s discuss something, I want to go and chat with His Excellency the Prime Minister.”
He said this too plainly and naturally, Ryann didn’t react at first, and it took two or three seconds to slowly turn his face.
“…Starting to have a fever?”
“Seriously.” Jiang Jianming patted away the hand that His Highness stretched out, and stood up lightly, “This stalemate is not a solution, Laurent should be waiting for his comrades to support him. If the Crystal Cult really comes to take Laurent away, do we let go or not? Major General Xie’s daughter is still there.”
Ryann was uninterested, obviously not even wanting to deal with this crazy proposal.
Jiang Jianming leaned over, held his cuff and whispered, “Your Highness, I can only go for this negotiation. Only a disabled human can make the other party relax their vigilance.”
Ryann couldn’t help but sneer, “So you still remember your own race?”
Jiang Jianming continued to say to himself, “Let the mechas surrounding Laurent disperse, let him take me away, maybe I can meet the head of the Crystal Cult.”
Ryann: “The head?”
Jiang Jianming: “Archbishop Gaius. Bishop Margaret told me – it’s the white-haired girl in the Glorious Cathedral, who has fought with you.”
The Crown Prince grunted and ignored him again.
“As I just said, you will eventually go to the universe domain to support the interstellar battlefield.”
Jiang Jianming got closer again and continued to persuade, “And if Laurent takes me away, where can he take me, isn’t it their Crystal Cult’s flagship?”
He smiled lightly, his expression very gentle, “If you win against them, you can take me away.”
The decadent sunlight probed out from the gap in the evening clouds, the stalemate starships, mechas, armed air vehicles, scattered artillery fire, and gunpowder smoke all became black shadows in this dim yellow sky.
Jiang Jianming turned to Major General Tang, “Please give me an air vehicle, and a miniature listener, two pairs.”
Major General Tang was taken aback and at a loss. Ryann’s expression cooled down. “Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
“Your Highness!”
Jiang Jianming’s eyebrows were slightly cold, and he forcefully pulled Ryann up. The latter was startled and staggered a step, his back collided with the cold inner wall of the mecha.
“This is not just about winning this battle, the Crystal Cult must be related to the secrets in the Crystal Nest, and then related to your amnesia and death.”
Jiang Jianming leaned down and lowered his voice, rushing to Ryann’s ear, “This may be the answer I have been looking for, even risking my life…..You promised to help me.”
The Crown Prince was both surprised and angry, and couldn’t speak for a while, reaching out to lift Jiang Jianming off.
…The palm fell on that slender and fair neck, but he didn’t want to use force, and instead kneaded it inexplicably.
Ryann stared at him with deep eyes, “What if the other party holds you hostage to threaten me? Do you know…”
Jiang Jianming: “I know, but it’s better than letting a child under ten be a hostage. I will adapt to the situation, as long as you are not afraid, believe me.”
“Please believe me.”
Jiang Jianming affirmed. “I still have a self-preservation trump card.”
It was only then that Major General Tang came back to his senses, “Your Highness! This won’t work, this absolutely won’t work!”
The Crown Prince was furious and gritted his teeth, feeling that the person in front of him was an untimely bomb, restless wherever it was placed.
His mind was dangerously swaying, hovering between “locking the disobedient disabled human in the treatment cabin with a lock” and “just knocking him out with a slap”, but he clearly knew that Jiang Jianming was not a person who could be imprisoned.
In the final analysis…Is the confinement given to him by this world still relatively small, does it still need to add another layer by his own hands?
“Just boasted about it, it shouldn’t be so quick to not count, right?”
Jiang Jianming’s tone softened a bit, more like a request, “If you are omnipotent, I will also be invincible.”
Ryann closed his eyes and turned away.
“…It counts.”
Major General Tang was like being struck by thunder, his face full of disbelief.
Jiang Jianming turned around and started to prepare, first taking his daily medicine in advance, then injecting three doses of tranquilizer, and putting down the pistol around his waist.
Ryann looked at him expressionlessly and turned away. The air vehicle was quickly prepared, and Jiang Jianming did not carry any self-defense weapons.
At this moment, His Highness suddenly thought: If he could take off his crystal bone and give it to him, he would be willing to suffer thousands of cuts.
In the end, he still sent him down the gangway, the rear ship door opened, and at the end of the iron-gray runway, a large cloud of evening was spreading.
The red sun was sinking, and the sky was like a corner dyed red by the blood and fire on this land.
Jiang Jianming opened the door of the air vehicle, bent over to sit in, suddenly thought of something, and turned back.
“By the way, Your Highness.”
Ryann seemed to realize something, and those consistently cold, sharp, and hard emerald eyes widened slightly.
In his pupils, Jiang Jianming stretched out his five slender fingers to himself, buckling his back of the head.
The beam of light at dusk flickered, and then it was gathered between the two silhouettes, annihilated in the distance where the lips and teeth were close.
Jiang Jianming gently and lovingly kissed Ryann’s lips, then let go, the touch of curly hair brushed past his fingers and moved away.
Before parting, the military uniform with the golden buckle and golden badge on the snow bottom was dyed almost a holy dusk color, his expression was clean and not like a soldier, “I love you.”
